About Face: The World War II story of young Jewish men who escaped certain danger at the hands of the Nazis and returned to fight them in Europe and North Africa. Told through the eyes of these men, the film chronicles the journey from Nazi victim to refugee and finally, to Allied soldier.
Speaker: Steve Karras graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is a freelance writer and documentary filmmaker. In 2009 he completed a ten-year initiative: conduct over 2000 hours of interviews with WWII veterans. This was the genesis for two completed projects: the feature-length documentary film, About Face and a book of oral histories entitled The Enemy I Knew: German Jews in the Allied Military in World War II (Zenith Press, 2010). Steve is also a songwriter/musician and lives on Chicago's North Shore with his daughter.
